Whether it's riding the hobby horse or playing with toy horsies, your family loves all things ponies. Trot out today's mare-velous deal for your budding equestrian -- or for yourself: Spend $55 for two 45-minute private horseback riding lessons from Baycrest Farms (a $110 value). This well-equipped ranch, located 15 miles north of Burbank, is an expansive turf for hunters, jumpers, and riders in the making. Its resident trainers and horses alike are sweet-natured, friendly, and patient with beginners. If your kiddo takes to the sport, the riding school also offers summer camps for young riders, ages 6 through 11, filled with fun activities and lessons on horsemanship -- a true blue-ribbion experience.
